A big challenge set in an outstanding location, four times serving as the National Middle Distance championships, Bala Lake in June must be one of the most impressive venues for a longer

distance event. The race revolves around the lake with the bike traversing large parts Snowdonia National Park and the run following the lake shoreline before a brutal climb into the foothills of the Arans. Not a race for the fainthearted, all who have finished this event know that they are on their way to further adventures in long distance triathlon.
